What is Melsy?

MELSY stands for Manual Egg Lift Systems, the most reliable and cost effective semi-automatic transfer of eggs.

Developed with the egg industry in mind, the complete MELSY solution consists of :
– one or more egg lifting heads complete with suction cups
– vacuum pump 230V-1Ph-50/60 Hz

Stainless steel casing with incorporated ON/OFF switch is optional.
Fittings and flexible air hoses are optional.

How Melsy works

  1. The operator places the cups of the egg lifting head over the eggs to be transferred
  2. The operator closes the air flow by pressing with his thumb and positions the eggs onto the tray or basket where the eggs have to be deposited
  3. The operator releases the eggs by opening the air flow in the egg lifting head, releasing his thumb

… and the operator restarts at step 1

Easy and very effective!
